Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"It is scalable."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It's simple to use."
"A new feature is the One-To-Many VPG allowing a VM to be replicated at up to three different locations, including local."
"In terms of continuous data protection, it's the best product that we've found that does this. It's not snapshot-based. It's continuous, so there are no specific points in time we have to worry about recovering to or from. It's pretty much any time, as long as it's within our replication window."
"I prefer Zerto because it's a little more automated. VMware has more requirements... It's a little more click-and-go versus click-and-monitor..."
"We selected Zerto because the RPO is extremely low, so you can get that server back up almost immediately. That was a huge thing. Also, the ability to do failover tests, where you can test your environment, but not have it impact your production environment, was huge."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the live migration."
"The user interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is allowing a failover from our remote sites to our data center. Our remote sites have failed several times, and on each occasion, we were able to bring a plant back online within 30 minutes, even though the hardware repair took many days."
"We can recover both systems on-premises and in the public cloud."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"Zerto could add text alerts if there are critical problems and alerts if changes affect our replication."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"Adding or changing VPGs (Virtual Protection Groups) may require restarting replication."
"I would like to see improvement on the Zerto Virtual Replication appliances, so that they are a little bit more streamlined as opposed to now where they just span multiple ZVR appliances like there were gremlins... as this thing grows it just spawns unlimited numbers of additional ZVR appliances and you end up with a bunch so that you can't really tell which is which."
"My only business complaint is the cost of the solution. I feel like the cost could be a tad lower, but we are willing to pay extra to get the Premium service."
"I haven't been a super big fan of the support area. The support could really be better in terms of responsiveness. I've had some issues that took two or three days to get resolved. Once I got to the right person, they were resolved quickly, but it took a while to get to that person."
"It has a file restore feature, which we have tried to use. We have had some issues with that, because the drives are compressed in our main file system. It is a Windows-based file server. So, it compresses the shares and can't restore those by default."
"It would be great if Zerto could automate replication more."
